Thanksgiving 2024

[Puget]

Happy thanksgiving everyone! I'm having friends over on Sunday instead of today, so using today to get some work done and a bit of just relaxing. It is raining hard but that's OK -- we really need it after a fall drought, and I'm cozy at home with the fireplace on and the cats lounging.

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone!

My plans are the routine for Thanksgiving, with friends and family over at the house, and me feeling guilty because I'm trying to sneak in a little work, here-and-there, so I don't get crushed at the end of the semester.

Happy Thanksgiving!

I took the whole week off and my spouse and I have not done much of anything.  Normally, I would only take this much time off between Christmas and the New Year, but I really needed a break from work.  I'm usually inviting people from my research group over to our house for Thanksgiving, but that didn't happen this year either.

Thanksgiving dinner at the Katz household was a vegetable pot pie with mashed potato top like a Shepherd's pie and a side of gravy.  It turned out really nice and it was refreshing to have a special dish without the extravagant desserts and sides. 

I hope everyone else had a good day as well!

Your Thanksgiving sounds ideal, @AJ_Katz, thanks for sharing.

I hope everyone else's day and weekend is also pleasant.

Ours went off OK. One of the sprogs' grief over the loss of PoiuyPooch1 is very severe though. They do have a therapist, hopefully that helps.

Back from our trip to CT and MA for Thanksgiving. It was our 1st time back since 2019.
It was great to see everyone who came and we did an indoor family photo. It was cold and rained most of Thanksgiving Day. I took home a can of limited edition Blizzard of '78 from a local brewery.

Safe and smooth return travels to those who are on the road for Thanksgiving!

I got the chance to have lunch at some friends' house after church on the Sunday before.  They live out in the country, in one of the prettier spots of the county, and it was a beautiful day.  We had lunch outside.  Only problem was, it was rather blustery, so you had to watch your plate and napkins.  We had about a dozen people there, even with some invitees unable to make it.

Thanksgiving Day was just me and Mom and Dad.  It was nice.  They're doing well.  We had a long talk with my distant out-of-state brother by phone that afternoon.  He told us about how after the neighborhood had pulled itself back together after the hurricane, he and his wife went ahead with pre-existing plans to kill a pig and invite the neighbors to a pig roast.  They had about 50 people there.  Looks like it will become an annual neighborhood event.
